Cerro Porteno vs Olimpia Asuncion Prediction: Will both teams end in a draw?

Estadio General Pablo Rojas Stadium will be the venue for the match between Cerro Porteno and Olimpia Asuncion as part of a round 17 matchup in the Paraguay Primera Division Apertura. Cerro Porteno will hope to build on their recent tied matchup, while Olimpia Asuncion will hope to extend their recent winning record to two. The information provided below is scheduled to guide your wagers.

Cerro Porteno, during their last five encounters, extended their unbeaten streak to five against Alianza Lima in a 1-1 draw. Before the match, they had won against Libertad Asuncion, General Caballero JLM, and 2 de Mayo while tied against Fluminense. During these matches, they have scored ten goals while conceding two. Cerro Porteno have gained 32 points in 16 matches this season, positioning them in 2nd place in the league table.

Olimpia Asuncion returned to winning ways in their last match against General Caballero JLM, picking a 3-1 away win in the match closed. Before the match, they lost against Ameliano, while they had won against Tacuary and Nacional Asuncion, and they tied against Sol de America. In these matches, they have scored six goals while conceding three. Olimpia Asuncion have gained 28 points in 16 matches this season, and they are currently ranked in 3rd place in the league table.

During their last 9 matches, Cerro Porteno won one, while Olimpia Asuncion won three, and both teams tied in 5 matches. Both teams were recorded in scoring against one another in 5 matches while scoring more than two goals were recorded in 4 matches.

I expect goals to be plentiful and both teams to find the back of the net. Considering their previous meetings, we see that both teams have been dangerous going forward but have struggled on defense. Hence, we anticipate more than two goals being scored in this matchup. However, since both teams have been recorded in settling-in ties in their last 5 matches, and since they currently have a 1-point difference, I think it is worth betting on a close result with a possible tie.
